Development Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 LAURA CORTESE LIVE!SATURDAY 15TH DECEMBER8:00PM; THE TUNNELSTICKETS 5 (6 ON DOOR)Tickets available from - 07515279981Singer, songwriter and fiddler, Laura Cortese lights up the stage with a radiating smile, dazzling musicianship and uninhibited delight. She deftly strums, plucks and chops her fiddle behind her raw and rootsy voice. Forgoing the guitar and bass of the traditional rock band, Cortese tours nationally with indie rock/folk drummer Neil Cleary (Annie Hayden, The Essex Green, Erin McKeown). On her latest release, Blow the Candle Out LIVE (November 2007), she couples the groove and polish of urban music with universal themes of the old world.Cortese's mix of modern and traditional styles creates an explosive sound that favors melody and rhythm over overtly technical performances. The momentum in songs like "Blow the Candle Out" propels the listener to a giddy plane where dancing is mandatory.- John Wenzel~The Denver Posthttp://www.myspace.com/lauracortesewww.lauracortese.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
